“…3 When the measurement of stretch stature is not possible, an estimated value is used. 6 Body parts are often used to estimate height, and include: [17][18][19] For the purposes of this paper, the most frequently used methods that are used for the estimation of true height will be discussed.…”

“…17,45,54 The first known height study to investigate total arm span compared to standing height was in a small study sample (n = 84), where only six subjects' standing height was equal to total arm span. 54 Several subsequent studies investigated the relationship between the two variables.…”

“…Las dimensiones de los miembros inferiores han sido objeto de análisis en tales estudios y se ha concluido que pueden ser usadas para calcular la estatura de una manera confiable (Ozaslan et al, 2003). Según Lundy los huesos largos mas exactos de la extremidad inferior para determinar la estatura son la tibia y el fémur (Lundy, 1985), con coeficientes de correlación de 0,94 y 0,95 respectivamente (Radoinova et al, 2002;Hauser et al, 2005), aunque en el estudio realizado el coeficiente de correlación es de 0,88 lo consideramos apropiado, nuestra apreciación es que la tibia es un hueso largo que en diversos estudios como en el nuestro ha mostrado correlaciones satisfactorias para estimar la talla.…”

“…Estimation of stature from bones plays an important role in identifying unknown dead bodies, parts of bodies or skeletal remains. Anthropometric techniques have been commonly used to estimate stature and bone length from the skeletal remains and unknown body parts by Anthropologists, Medical Scientists and Anatomists for over a hundred years [4][5][6][7]. The humerus offers important advantages over other long bones in that its entire outline can readily be traced on total body X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images, and its shape can be modelled as a cylinder with reasonable accuracy [8].…”

“…Therefore these fractures are difficult for orthopedic surgeons to treat [9]. Various implants are available for the diverse fracture patterns observed in the distal humerus and these are contoured specifically according to the anatomy of this region [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Based on the above facts, it is evident that knowledge of the morphometric analysis of humeral segments is important in order to identify unknown bodies and estimation of stature.…”
